I Google searched 2012, as the preview ordered. The number one result was “NCAA picks Final Four hosts for 2012 through 2016.” If the NCAA has already picked championship basketball venues for 2014, surely the world won’t end in 2012!

Ah yes, the Mayan version of the Y2K bug, only it’s the Y2.012K… not as catchy. All the Mayan calendar software will think it’s the beginning of time, with the task manager alerting them about blood sacrifices that were already taken care of years ago.

What frightens me about this movie is that people will actually believe that this could come true. I mean, the irresponsibility of the director in making it seem that this could actually happen is just revolting and unconscionable. People are already willing to believe the most amazing codswallop and hogwash, but to now try and convince them that John Cusack is an action hero? I wash my hands of the human race.

I’m guessing that, as the giant tsunami nears the American coast, he will stand on a cliff w/ a boombox raised above his head, Peter Gabriel blaring from the speakers, and the tsunami, filled with regret, will turn around and go back to Antarctica.

I can’t believe everyone is bashing John Cusack – did no one else realize Woody Harrelson and Oliver Platt are also in this movie??? If you squint your eyes and tilt your head you MAY be able to buy John Cusack as an action hero, but Woody Harrelson? Please.

Well, heck. If the world ends in 2012, this will put a big crimp in my plans to move to Seattle and fight villainous mega-corporations with my ork and elf chummers.

BTW- From wiki comes this news:
# 2012: The War for Souls by author Whitley Strieber (2007) is a fictional novel about three parallel earths and the occurrences leading up to December 21, 2012 in each as the walls between them begin to thin and allow passage through gateways to the others. A film adaptation is proposed, produced by Michael Bay.
